Swipe
Start from any edge of the screen, then
swipe inwards toward the center.
Swiping down from the top edge or up
from the bottom edge displays a task bar
on the bottom of the screen with app
commands, including save, edit, and
delete.
If you have an app currently open, you
can also:
• Swipe from the top edge to halfway
down the screen without lifting your
finger to dock that app on the left or
right side of the screen. This allows you
to keep two apps open simultaneously
in a split-screen format.
• Swipe from the top edge straight down
to the bottom edge of the screen
continuously without lifting your
finger to close the currently open app.
